Description

Enumerate the devices attached to the system and collect metadata about them.

This should fusion with the file system collector to associate data like total files and changes with harddrive devices, but this should also gather information about every device attached to the system and its driver.

Research direction

Start by examining the existing file system collector and how collectors represent system data. Determine how attached devices and their drivers should be enumerated, and how filesystem totals and changes should associate with hard drives. Done means collecting metadata for every attached device while associating relevant filesystem data with hard drives.
